Flowers Aldgate recognises that modern slavery, including human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation, is a grave violation of human rights and dignity. We are fully committed to upholding the highest ethical standards, not only within our own business but throughout our supply chain. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the actions we are taking to prevent modern slavery in every aspect of our operations. As a trusted Aldgate florist serving local households and businesses, we believe it is our responsibility to champion fairness, respect, and transparency.
At Flowers Aldgate, we operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery. We expect the same high standards from all those with whom we work, including suppliers, contractors, and business partners. Any identified instances or credible suspicions of modern slavery practices within our supply chain or among our partners will result in a full investigation and immediate action.
We recognise that vigilance in our supply chain is critical in preventing modern slavery. We undertake thorough due diligence of all suppliers before entering into business relationships, assessing their practices and policies with regard to labour standards and ethical conduct. This assessment includes requesting documentation, reviewing third-party certifications when available, and engaging in open dialogue regarding their sourcing practices. We continue to monitor suppliers’ compliance on an ongoing basis and reserve the right to end relationships with any supplier failing to uphold our ethical commitments.
Our staff are integral to upholding our values and play an active role in identifying and preventing modern slavery. We provide regular training sessions to increase awareness of modern slavery risks and indicators, ensuring all team members understand both their individual and collective responsibilities. By equipping our staff with the knowledge and tools they need, we foster a culture of vigilance and ethical integrity throughout Flowers Aldgate.
Creating safe and effective channels for raising concerns is essential to our commitment against modern slavery. We encourage our staff, suppliers, and partners to report any suspicion or evidence of slavery or exploitation within our business or supply chain. Reports are handled confidentially, investigated promptly, and escalated as appropriate. No report will result in recrimination or disadvantage for those who act in good faith. We take all concerns seriously to ensure our business remains free from modern slavery practices.
Flowers Aldgate regularly reviews this Modern Slavery Statement to ensure its effectiveness and relevance. Through annual audits of our policies, supply chain checks, and consultation with staff and partners, we seek continuous improvement in our approach to tackling modern slavery risks. Any necessary updates to our procedures will be clearly communicated to all stakeholders. Our ongoing commitment is part of our wider responsibility to our clients and community in Aldgate.
We take pride in being a trusted florist within the Aldgate area, serving both local households and businesses with care and integrity. The measures set out here reflect our intent to operate as a responsible business and hold ourselves accountable to the highest ethical standards. Flowers Aldgate will continue to take proactive steps to ensure modern slavery has no place in our organisation or supply chain.
